Because you have to learn to read.

Strk has written:

| (see ./configure --help)

This is a clear hint to the fact that you have to give the *full path*
of *pg_config* to ./configure, not just the path of the directory
pg_config resides in. So try

./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
--with-proj=/opt/proj-4.4.9/

Both configure and make try to execute the program you give, which is
why the following error messages are produced by make and configure:

> ./configure: line 3568: /usr/local/pgsql/bin: is a directory

> make[1]: execvp: /usr/local/pgsql/bin: Permission Denied
           ^^^^^^

HTH,
Markus
